Okay, so I want to discuss today how just simply NOT making things too complicated will help you better stick to your goals. I have been so guilty of thinking that I have to do everything to the max, exhausting myself with going all out with EVERY single meal that we eat, trying 14 different variations of specific muscle group exercises instead of focusing on a few tried & true

My favorite season is right around the corner! I love Fall. The colors, the smells, the nip in the air! Fall always feels like a time of new beginnings to me. Coming out of the dog days of summer where it’s so hot you feel like you can’t even breathe and into the crisp mornings and cool breezes of Fall is so refreshing. That’s why I’ve decided to create

These meatballs are amazing! My family ate these on sub buns, but I just had some in a bowl topped with a little mozzarella. They are so filling, I definitely didn’t need the bread. These are also great to have with spaghetti. And the homemade sauce is also very versatile and can be used in lots of dishes. This makes quite a few meatballs, and it does take some time

I normally prefer a meal like this in the fall or winter. It was so hot yesterday that I hated to heat the oven up, but this was calling my name and it did not disappoint! Plus I love how it all goes together into one dish so I don’t have a ton of dirty dishes to wash. Print Yum Roasted turkey smoked sausage, potatoes, and green beans Ingredients1

It can be overwhelming when you start thinking that you want to try to get in shape. Like, you know….you have these conversations in your head about how “tomorrow” you’re gonna start working out. Or, after this next pig out sesh, I’m totally gonna start eating right. And you really believe it at the time. You’re totally gonna do this thing! But then tomorrow comes and you’re just like,

This meal was a hit with the family tonight. I very slightly adapted the original recipe from Closet Cooking to include chicken (for more protein) and using whole wheat pasta. However, I recently decided that I’ll be investing in a zucchini spiralizer so I can make Zoodles and I’ll try those with this recipe next time. This recipe is a little more involved so it was perfect for a

Some of you may be wondering exactly what this “Tabata” is that I’m referring to. I’ll try not to bore you with too many details, but Tabata was developed by a Japanese scientist in the 70’s as a part of a training program for Olympic athletes. Tabata consists of 4 exercises done at maximum effort for 20 seconds, then 10 seconds of rest. You do each exercise in order then

This is another versatile recipe that can be changed around to suit everyone’s taste by switching up the veggies. It is simple to make and full of flavor. It features some awesome nutrient-packed foods, too. Chicken is a great protein source. Broccoli is a powerhouse full of vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, and calcium. Sun-dried tomatoes are another good source of protein & antioxidants. Print Yum Asiago Chicken Pasta

We had this awesome taco pie for supper last night. The original recipe is from Kraft and you can find it HERE. I used to think that if I wanted to eat better, the only way to do that was to swear off everything that wasn’t 100% healthy and “clean”. That led to a lot of frustration because it was hard for me to find a variety of things that

Protein smoothies are a staple for me during the hot summer months. I like to have them after my workout, but they also make a great breakfast option, especially if you are pressed for time in the morning. They are easy & quick to make and the possibilities are endless. I don’t really measure everything, just kind of eyeball it. This smoothie is made up of 1 scoop Optimum

"When I joined the group, I wasn't for sure I could do it or had the time to do. I made time and it was so easy. All the support from everyone, even people I didn't know, was amazing. I knew I could do this. I have friends taking other products and constantly bragging on how much weight they have lost. When asked what else have they changed, they say absolutely nothing. My pounds may come off slower but I have made a healthy lifestyle change and that is more important to me then having quick results. In the end, I will have the better longer results."

"I participated in Amee's online fitness group in January 2015. I lost 10 lbs and a total of 12 inches! It was an awesome group to be involved with! Amee is such an inspirational and motivating leader. I learned so much about clean eating and proper techniques for my workouts. She shared many recipes that are so wonderful. I highly recommend doing one or more of her groups."

When I started Amee's fitness program, my A1C was 8.2, which is too high for a diabetic. After the program, not only have I lost weight, but my A1C is 6.2 and my doctor has not only reduced my morning insulin dosage, but my evening dose has been cut out completely! I will always be grateful.
